Personally, I strongly prefer CX’s 350’s over their 777’s with or without F. FRA switched to 777 from 350 recently and I am considering to fly to AMS instead now. If you are a paying C pax , the switch to 777 is great.
77A has similar total capacity to 35G but is significantly more premium heavy. That's why I'm surprised to see this aircraft change.
What surprises me even more is, although Lavinia Lau said "... there was a notable increase in demand for our premium cabins driven by ... most notably the Paris Fashion Week ... resulted in September having the highest premium cabin load factor ... in 2024", CX actually schedules 359 on CDG in late Feb/early March when there would be another Fashion Week. Dunno how they could cope with this demand for premium cabins with 35G.
Though there is a chance that 77J may be deploy to CDG at that time, so let's see.
